What this shows Design's Innovation Score is 42.0/100 (top 31% of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for Design?

Each dot is one of Design’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). Design’s own 13.8 claims/patent is at or below the 16.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Design's grants concentrate

Design Blue Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 22 CPC subclasses with 40% of grants classified under A41D (OUTERWEAR; Protective GARMENTS; Accessories). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Design sits between Daymen US, Inc. and Diamond Candles, LLC.

Design's three-year grant acceleration

Design Blue Ltd. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 in 2019–2021. That prior window is too thin for a growth multiple (rename and spin-out assignees look artificially high when the baseline is near zero), so PlainPatent withholds a ranked acceleration claim here.
